captioning made possible by johnson & johnson, where quality products for the american family have been a tradition for generations >> osgood: good morning. i'm charles osgood and this is sunday morning. from laptops to cell phones to music players, modern electronic devices have made life more convenient and more fun for millions of people. but these devices for the most part are made by hand in conditions that many people rarely give a thought to. martha teichner has a look at the dark side to all these

shiny, gleaming gadgets in our sunday morning cover story. >> reporter: if you are one of the 37 million people who bought an i-phone over the holidays, have you ever wondered about working conditions in the chinese factories where they're made? when you were there, were there nets around the building to prevent further suicide? >> there was, yes. >> reporter: ahead on sunday morning, a controversial bite out of apple. >> osgood: with oscar season upon us, we're going hollywood. to start us off on our red carpet countdown lesley stahl talks with the nominated director whose latest film represents a total change of pace. >> reporter: martin scorsese's new film hugo got 11 oscar nominations this past week without a single punch thrown or gun fired. so hugo, no stabbing, no shooting, no gun fire. no one gets whacked. is martin scorsese going soft

on us? >> you know, have i mellowed in a sense? >> reporter: later on sunday morning, the maestro of movie mayhem tells us why he made hugo, his very first family film. >> osgood: score skazy's film does pay tribute to remarkable machines that were operating in high gear many years ago. seth doane will be rewinding us back through time. >> reporter: a mechanical work of art. and centuries old mystery. do people even know when you're talking about when you say i've written a book about an atomic-on. >> i just keep talking. usually i do say that it's a wind-up mechanical figure. >> reporter: the wonder of the automaton later on sunday morning. >> osgood: brad pit is a movie star very much of our own time so much so that he's up for several oscars. lee cowan this morning will

pay him a visit. >> reporter: his latest film money ball is up for six oscars. for brad pitt, it hits close to home. >> there are so many comparisons between money ball and the movie industry as a whole. the idea that if you avoid the star system, you can find as equally talented people for far less money and yet they hire me. >> reporter: brad pitt on money ball, fame and family later on sunday morning. >> osgood: also this morning anthony mason introduces us to the briish singer rumer. rita braver shows us the fashions of designer tory burch. steve hartman takes us to a sub terrainian open house and more. but first here are the headlines for this sunday morning the 29th of january, 2012. the florida republican primary is tuesday. and the latest poll now puts mitt romney well ahead of opponent newt gingrich. last night a former candidate herman cain through his support behind gingrich calling him a patriot, a man

who isn't afraid of bold ideas. republican presidential hopeful rick santorum has canceled today's campaign events to be in philadelphia where his three-year-old daughter bella is now hospitalized. the child has a serious genetic condition. about 300 occupy oakland protestors were arrested last night after a day-long demonstration ended violently. police used tear gas to disperse a crowd trying to seize an empty convention center. u.n. inspectors this morning began touring iran's nuclear facilities. iran wants to prove its atomic goals are peaceful, a claim other nations including the united states have rejected. the pentagon even wants to start building conventional bomb because the current weapons can't penetrate the underground bankers that house many of iran's nuclear labs. friends, family and fans gathered in los angeles yesterday at a memorial service to singer etta james. stevie wonder performed and

christina aguilera sang james's signature song "at last." now for today's forecast. most of us should expect another mild day. it's been a mostly mild winter. that's how january will end. the week ahead looks mild, even farm in some spots. with just a few showers here and there. >> ahead, we're going hollywood with hugo's oscar- nominated director martin scorsese. and money ball's oscar

even in this high-tech age, our most popular electronic devices are largely made by hand. many hands as it turns out, hands that often are very overworked. as industry critics contend. our sunday morning cover story is reported now by martha teichner. >> reporter: just try to imagine 37 million i-phones. that's how many apple sold in just the last three months of 2011. on tuesday it announced revenue of more than 46 billion dollars for the quarter ending december 31. tim cook, the man who replaced the late steve jobs as ceo of apple, told wall street analysts the company couldn't keep up with global demand for the new i-phone 4-s. we didn't guess high enough,

he said. the world is is in love with everything apple. but here's a question: have you ever wondered where all that stuff gets made? >> i have never thought, ever, in a dedicated way about how they were made. >> reporter: for performer mike daisy, that is the centerpiece of a monologue: the agony and the ectasy of steve jobs. >> it is a city of 14 million people and is larger and denser than new york city. it's the third largest city in all of china. it's a place where almost all of your toys come from. >> reporter: the show is an on- stage expose of working conditions in a factory in this city in china owned by a company called foxconn which manufactures electronics under contract for practically every

major brand you can name including apple. >> foxconn is the biggest company you've never heard of. foxconn makes over 50% of all the electronics in the world. >> reporter: the foxconn plant in china employs more than 400,000 people. >> you've never been to the economic engines of china, these giant buildings, backed up with people. they're just staggering. it almost takes your breath away. >> reporter: daisy went to the city. foxconn wouldn't let him in so he stood outside the main gate with his translator talking to workers at shift change. >> my first two hours of my first day at that gate, i met workers who were 14 years old. i met workers who were 13 years old. i met workers who were 12. do you really think apple

doesn't know? >> reporter: but what was news were the suicides. >> while i was there, i was there in may and june 2010. that's really the peak of when the suicides were happening. with the kind of terrible regulate where week after week workers would go up on the roofs of these buildings and throw themselves off the buildings. >> reporter: when you were there, were there nets around the buildings to prevent further suicides? >> there were, yes. >> reporter: you saw those? >> i did. >> reporter: what did that look like looking up and seeing them? >> it looked a lot like the nets you would put out to catch fish. >> despite the suicides at foxconn we begin to question the harsh management methods that drives workers to commit suicide. >> reporter: debbie chan is a project manager for students

and scholars against corporate miss behavior, a labor watchdog group based in hong kong. sacom reported 18 foxconn workers committed suicide in 2010 and more tried. >> we began to interview the workers. many of them told us they have work pressure. if they make some mistakes they would be punished. >> reporter: foxconn responded that the suicide rates at its plants in china was actually lower than the national average. but the world had noticed. even comedian steven colbert commented. >> a tragic state of affairs. in response foxconn has taken action to ensure the mental health of their employees by making them sign a pledge vowing not to kill themselves. done and done. >> reporter: this is what steve jobs had to say.

>> foxconn is not a sweat shop. when you go to this place and it's a factory but, my gosh, i mean, they've got restaurants and movie theaters and hospitals and swimming pools. i mean, it's... for a factory it's a pretty nice factory. >> reporter: so what then would drive workers to suicide? the pressure to produce especially to keep up with demand for a hot device like a new i-phone, according to mike daisy. >> the official workday in china is eight hours long. i never met anyone who heard of an eight-hour shift. everyone i talked to worked 12- hour shifts, much longer than that often. 14 hours a day, 15 hours a day. while i was in the country a worker in foxconn died after working a 34-hour shift. >> reporter: we have repeatedly asked apple for

comment and been told no. we have repeatedly asked foxconn for access to its plant. no reply. instead, we were referred to a london-based consulting firm: impacts limited, paid by apple but only to address child labor issues among its suppliers. >> in my experience they have approached this particular topic of dealing with child labor is at the very top end of industry thoughts. >> reporter: this woman is is director of operations. asked if she had been sent to foxconn. >> we haven't been into foxconn. >> reporter: if you go to foxconn's website you discover it's part of a huge taiwan-based conglomerate called hand hi precision industry company with plants all over the world including the united states. foxconn employs approximately a million people throughout china, not just in schennjenn.

it claims to follow strict industry standards of conduct and to respect its work force. >> a lot of companies have codes of conduct or standards that they apply to their factory partners in china. what we've learned is a lot of those standards are aspirational in nature. the market practices that a lot of these factories employ are well below those standards. >> reporter: ed spalding heads a consulting firm that helps companies in china improve working conditions. he won't say whether he works with apple and foxconn or talk about them specifically. it's important to note that they are by no means the only electronics makers implicated. >> it is common for factories to hide working hours, to somehow coach workers on what to say, when auditors come to the factory. >> reporter: on january 13 for the first time, apple released a list of its major suppliers

and, with it, its annual supplier responsibility report showing that in 2011 it conducted 80% more audits than in 2010. the company's supplier code of conduct limits workers to a 60- hour six-day week. by apple's own data, only 38% of its suppliers complied. for sacon, apple's efforts are not good enough. >> every time when we sent reports, statements to them, we did not even get any reply. from this kind of experience, we think that apple is the most arrogant company. >> reporter: on thursday after a damning front page story in the "new york times," apple's ceo tim cook e-mailed his staff. any suggestion that we don't care is pateently false and offensive to us, he wrote. we are attacking problems aggressively.

it would be easy to look for problems in fewer places and report prettier results, but those would not be the actions of a leader. and that's just the point for mike daisy. why are we talking about apple here as opposed to, say, microsoft or dell or sam sung or any of the other companies that contract with the foxconns of the world? >> apple has said for decades that it wants to be a leader. i think far from apple, you know, sort of complaining that people have expectations of them, i think they should be delighted that people actually expect them to lead and to rally the rest of the industry. >> reporter: so where does that leave us? in 2012, it's virtually impossible to stop buying and using electronics made in chinese factories for apple or for anybody else. >> our devices are so beautiful. especially the apple devices. they're so gorgeous looking.

it seems as though they were made by a machine. but the reality is they're assembled by hand, by thousands of people who work with their fingers putting together the tiny components. so much of our world is actually hand made. even though it looks so modern. it's built from the bones of this labor. we need to actually understand that. ♪ mckinley is the man >> osgood: next the man behind the mountain. it just wouldn't go away. my doctor diagnosed it as fibromyalgia, thought to be the result of overactive nerves that cause chronic widespread pain. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i learned lyrica can provide significant relief from fibromyalgia pain. and for some people, it can work in as early as the first week of treatment. so now i can plan my days and accomplish more.

>> osgood: this morning we continue our look at fashion forward clothing with a look at a designer whose styles seem to fit a generation of women to a t. rita braver takes us to the runway. >> i love the sweaters. what a fun way to tie in a whole outfit. >> reporter: tory burch is hard at work getting ready for her high-profile runway show during new york's upcoming fashion week. creating the kinds of clothes she's known for: sophisticated but not too serious. clothes that are a lot like tory burch. >> i think women want to have fun with how they dress. they want to create their own

individual style. i want our clothes to be able to help them do that. >> reporter: her trademark bright color and easy-to-wear pieces have made her a fashionson phenomenon in eight short years. it's a couture look with a lower price tag, pieces that range in the hundreds rather than thousands of dollars. >> i thought we could really have an interesting concept if we took this idea of a luxury lifestyle brand but made it more accessible. >> reporter: her line with its distinctive double-t logo is now in hundreds of department stores, not to mention 65 tory burch boutiques across the world. >> addict. >> reporter: at 25 she's now got 1500 employees and does more than half a billion dollars a year in business. success even she has trouble believing sometimes. the fashion critics for a

major newspaper called you, quote, the most influential fashion designer in america today. that's a pretty high praise there. >> that's when i look around my shoulder and ask, who is she talking about? no, i don't know. that's a huge compliment. wow. >> reporter: in fact, tory robin been-burch has led a golden life growing up on a horse farm in valley forge pennsylvania. >> i don't think i had a dress on until my senior prom. >> reporter: she got her sense of style from her glamorous globe-trotting parents. >> i know one of these has a special meaning for you. >> oh, yes. my mother in cuba in the leopard bikini. >> reporter: she is a constant presence in tory's world. >> i am so unbelievable proud of my daughter. >> reporter: tory even named her top-selling ballerina flat riva after her mom who was also an inspiration for the tuneics that are considered

tory's most iconic pieces. >> tuneics have been around for centuries as you know. i'm very happy that all of a sudden they're mine. >> reporter: tory cut her fashion teeth working for designers like ralph laurent, vera wang. but she longed to create her own label. did it ever occur to you, oh, my god, this is really hard. i can't even begin to think about doing this. >> several times. i worked out of my apartment for the first two years. i had three boys and three stepdaughters that were all quite young running around so it was chaos. >> reporter: but theers why that golden part comes in again. she was lucky enough to have her fashion line financed with help from her businessman husband chris burch and other family members and friends. >> new york style setter tory burch is being hailed as the next big thing in fashion. >> reporter: then in 2005 oprah featured her work. >> again it's great for different body types. >> very nice. >> thank you.

>> hard to define how much she helped us. the next day we had eight million hits on our website. >> reporter: other celebrities were spotted wearing her clothes too. and tv's gossip girl loved her clothes so much, they invited tory to make a cameo appearance on the show. >> thank you so much for seeing me on short notice. you came highly recommended. >> i was happy to make the time. >> reporter: tory burch her self was something of a fixture on the new york party scene which led to some critics labeling her a socialite designer. >> i think people don't know her. >> reporter: sally singer editor of "new york times" style magazine recently ran a feature on tory and is a big fan. >> i think that there's no question that she's a woman of great beauty and a woman with, you know, some amount of privilege. she's a woman who has lived in

a certain world. but if you know her, you see how good she is at what she does. >> reporter: burch has won a prestigious council of fashion designers of america award. and she was honored last year by glamor. >> incredible honor for the recognition. >> reporter: but success has brought some unwelcome imitations. she recently won $164 million in damages, believed to be the largest such award in history, shutting down internet sites that sold fake tory burch merchandise. what made you decide to pursue this? >> well, essentially it's stealing. i think that at the end of the day it's taking billions of dollars away from the number-two industry in new york. >> reporter: so you actually live in a beautiful apartment that's in a hotel? >> i never thought i'd say here. it just turneded out and worked out well. >> reporter: but not everything has been perfect.

her 2006 divorce from chris burch made headlines. >> oh, it was incredibly hard. we have six children together that we love. then, of course, going through it publicly it was not fun. >> reporter: she's been seen around town of late with music producer. is that your boyfriend? >> he's my boyfriend. he is. >> reporter: burch says her own good fortune led her to start a program that helped young women entrepreneurs get start-up loans. she taps her celebrity network to bring in mentors like ms-nbc mika brzezinski and music mogul russell simmons. >> when i first started the company there were a tremendous amount of nay sayers. i had to just say, okay, this is something i believe in and something i want to do. >> reporter: these days nobody is saying nay to her. but as she prepares for her

upcoming fashion show, she's well aware that as hard as she worked in the past, the future of the tory burch brand all depends on her. >> if there's a product out there with my name on it, it's me so i want it to be good. >> osgood: ahead, automatons. the inspiration for the story of hugo. but next, lesley stahl with the director of hugo, martin scorsese.

>> talking to me? are you talking to me? >> i'm the only one here. >> it's sunday morning on cbs, and here again is charles osgood. >> osgood: the actor is robert d denear owe and the movie is taxi driver directed by martin scorsese. with oscar night exactly four weeks away we're going hollywood these next few sundays. we begin with martin scorsese with his oscar-nominated hugo.

how his movie came to be is a story he tells our lesley stahl of "60 minutes." >> reporter: welcome to hollywood east, martin scorsese's manhattan office. where he edits his films and screens old favorites. you have, of course, of your posters. >> i like these films. >> reporter: it's a wall-to-wall shrine to the greats of the past. most of them are kind of the older directors. >> it's like trying to stay in touch with that initial creative impulse and say i want to do that. i want to do something like that. the inspiration. >> reporter: one inspiration and the subject of hugo is the pioneering film maker george melier. >> melier actually was a magician. so he understood the possibilities of a motion picture camera. >> reporter: hugo is a tribute to melier. in the film scorsese shows

just how the old magician did his tricks. melier, who directed over 500 films between 1896 and 1913 was the inventor of special effects. one of the things that i just loved in hugo was seeing the old footage from melier. the hilarious, brilliant things that he shot. really the invention of humor on film. >> because he invented everything, basically. he invented it all. when you see these colored images moving the way he composed these frames and that he did the action, it's like looking at illuminated manuscripts moving. >> reporter: but by the end of world war ii melier's was a forgotten man, reduced to selling wind-up toys in a paris train station. this is the book that the movie is based on. >> we did this exactly.

this shot. >> reporter: hugo is an orphan who lives in a paris train station that he rarely leaves, viewing the world from behind a giant clock. >> this is what got me really interested in making the film. the way he's looking through the clock. >> reporter: in the movie it's hugo who redofers melier and his film. >> come and dream with me. >> reporter: in other words it's a hard-warming children's movie with a happy ending. so hugo. no stabbings, no shootings, no gun fire, no one gets whacked. is martin scorsese going soft on us? >> well, you know, have i mellowed in a sense? what was the last picture, shutter island? to me, the story is something that opens up a whole new way of approaching cinema. primarily it really is a connection with the children. >> reporter: a sweet connection with children?

are we talking martin scorsese? this is what you usually think of. when you say directed by martin scorsese. here he is at the golden globes accepting the best director award for hugo and explaining why he made the film. >> i have to thank, my love to my helen. because we have a 12-year-old, and she said to me, read this book. why don't you make a film that our daughter could see for once. so we did. she's gotten older now. >> reporter: could i ask you how old you were. >> late in life. i think about 56, 57. >> reporter: that must have been life-changing for you. >> you know, it really is life changing. i didn't quite understand. it's rediscovering the world through the kids. >> reporter: this is such a different man from the one we first met in 1996 for a "60

minutes" profile. everybody said you want to know marty scorsese, go to his movies. then you'll get him. your movies are so much about anger. now are you really that angry? >> i've been in a bad mood for 25 years. >> reporter: back then he took us to his old new york city neighborhood where he had grown up a lonely and sickly child. you'd be right up here looking out. as a young boy he was so ill with asthma he spent a lot of time indoors at the movie theater. he couldn't go outside and rough house with the other kids. he could only watch them out his window. the last time i interviewed you, we went to where you grew up. you showed us that you've spent all your time in that window looking out. >> that's right. interesting. >> reporter: there's hugo up in this enclosed space looking out through the numbers but nevertheless looking out. i thought he made a movie about himself. >> that is the first connection. i love the idea of a young

person who is unable to join in because me, with my asthma and that sort of thing. but that third floor front window was sort of like a panoramic window of life. >> reporter: the window frame was his movie screen. while he observed life from up there, he began dreaming up films of his own. >> because of this illness, i really couldn't participate. i was always observing. i was in it but at the same time i really doesn't fully.... >> reporter: like hugo. >> yeah, like hugo. >> reporter: but scorsese is also like melier the magician who is always experimented with the latest technology which is why scorsese shot hugo in 3-d. you're not going to see 3-d like avatar. you're not going to see things flying out at you? >> no, no. i wanted to use 3-d as another story telling element the way we're sitting here now is 3-d. why not use color? we use sound? we use movement. the way melier did it, he was

inventing as he went along. we found ourselves in a similar situation with 3-d because every time you put a camera in place, it was the added element. it was like a tight rope. once we started on it, we couldn't go back. (laughing) >> reporter: you didn't know what you were going to get. >> no. >> reporter: we were wondering if the changes in scorsese's personal life-- happily married to his fifth wife helen, attentive father-- have spilled over into his work habits? you know, when we interviewed you, you told us that you had been angry for 25 years. >> um-hum. >> reporter: and that you were banging phones, breaking phones. >> i still dislike phones, yeah. >> reporter: you were a raging guy. >> yeah. >> reporter: is there still rage? >> i think so. but what happens now is i'll go up in a room, let me get past this and move on. figure out, okay. what are the facts? forget the emotion. >> reporter: his editor for nearly 50 years.

you've done all those violent films? >> yes. >> reporter: look at you. you're so nice. >> (laughing) >> reporter: she's been there when scorsese has smashed editing machines. he had a really bad temper. >> right. when he was editing, the film would snag and break. then he would get mad and hit the tiny little screen, thick glass, with his hand and break it. so after a while rental companies wouldn't rent to him anymore. >> reporter: she's also seen the scorsese who dotes on his 12-year-old daughter. perhaps even grooming her for a spot in the family business. >> every saturday he screens two films for her. he carefully picks them. i remember once she was sitting with me in the editing room waiting for him. she just blurted out, i love charie chaplin. i thought, oh, my. marty couldn't think of anything he would want to hear more. >> reporter: you show your daughter and her friends a

movie every weekend. in 16 years as far as i can tell, you have not lost any passion for film, for watching them, making them, talking about them and loving them. >> yeah, yeah. >> reporter: so what's next for martin scorsese? well, his directing and producing hbo's board walk empire and on the big screen there's an upcoming film about jesuits in 17th century japan and a frank sinatra biopic. maybe even... do you think that you'll do something on the internet? >> yes. i would think so. >> reporter: really? like an internet you-tube kind of movie? >> no. you-tube you mean like little cat eating milk? no, no. i'm not going to do that. >> reporter: with a narrative with a story. >> oh, yeah. you see the thing is this? wherever it can be shown, i'm open to trying because right now we're at a time at the same time there's great

transformation taking place in communication, the same way as the period of george melier. >> osgood: next, her name is rumer. spread the word. [ male announcer ] how can power consumption in china, impact wool exports from new zealand, textile production in spain,

>> osgood: it happened this week. travel and leisure magazine published a list of the cities voted the rudeest in the united states. and here they are. back at the top of the list after slipping in rudeness pre-eminence for the last couple of years is new york city.

you'll note that the rudeness list is heavily loaded with cities on the east coast although l.a., phoenix and dallas also had that dubious distinction. as a native new yorker and resident of the big apple, i rise to object and to explain that we new yorkers are not really rude. it's just that we're often in sort of a bad mood. the millions you run into out on the street deep down are just lovely and even quite sweet. but there's so much of us on a given day that we can't avoid getting in each other's way. we're in a big hurry with so much to do that we may seem a little obnoxious to you. to my fellow new yorkers, i just want to say, i'd love to chat more but i'm busy, okay?

but it could write poems-- one in english, two in french-- solving a mystery. >> it wrote out essentially this device was created by may-r -day. that told us who the maker was. from there we could find out the history of the device. >> reporter: hundreds of years ago automaton were created by watch makers almost as a way to brag and show off their abilities. >> when clocks were invented and people saw that you can use these mechanics to create a man that could juggle or sing or be on the trap he's, it sort of started people thinking, like what is life that something can mimic the act of life? why isn't it, itself alive? >> this is my draw with all of my hugo sketches. >> reporter: author brian sellsnick was fascinated by the device and dreamed up a now famous children's book

centered around an automaton. for research he went to see the one in philadelphia. >> i imagined a kid climbing through the garbage and finding one of those broken machines and trying to fix it. that boy became hugo. that's where the whole story really began. >> reporter: sellsnick story became a 500-page tale that doesn't look or read like a typical children's book. much of it unfolds in a series of pencil-and-ink drawings that sellsnick created in the studio of his brooklyn apartment. his best-selling book "the invention of hugo cabret" -- >> what is that? >> reporter:-- was turned into the movie hugo which earned 11 oscar nominations. >> this is the very first sketch they had for the metal great that ended up being built for the movie. >> reporter: in the story hugo lives behind the grates of a 1930s paris train station. he hopes that fixing his

>> well, that debate audience was rowdy cheering and cheering yelling give it to 'em. you didn't hear that? that's because i'm not talking thursday night's debate, i'm talking about the lincoln- douglas debates in 1858. it's a reminder when we watch a network like cnn covering a debate like it's espn's college game day it's not that different from the days when parades and bands and audience participation were part and parcel of the debate experience. but there's still a question to ask here. just how demonstrative an audience do we want during the debate especially when it can have a real impact on how we judge potential presidents? >> you yourself said to khruschev you may be ahead of us in rocket.... >> reporter: the very first televised debates in 1960 didn't even have audiences. they were held inside television studios. >> i know it will come as a surprise to mr. mondale but i am in charge. >> reporter: in the debates

>> i'm not going to spend the evening trying to chase governor romney's misinformation. >> reporter: newt gingrich demanded that the next debate audience be allowed to express itself. at thursday night's cnn debate it did. >> i'm glad you withdrew it. i think you should apologize for it. >> reporter: but the cheers came for mitt romney when he chastised gingrich. >> it does not justify labeling people with highly charged he threats ( cheers and applause ) >> reporter: be careful what you wish for. and cheers. >> like a bank vault door. >> osgood: just ahead, home that's really down to earth. ! specialists, lots of doctors, lots of advice... and my hands were full. i couldn't sort through it all. with unitedhealthcare, it's different. we have access to great specialists, and our pediatrician gets all the information.
